Update on work

Good news - we won the case. My attorney did a FABULOUS job and it was a great learning experience for me. We celebrated with a nice bottle of red (Kunde Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma Valley 2000) and he gave me another bottle to bring back to the hotel room. I had a relaxing room service meal of tomato bisque, broccolini with hollandaise sauce, and lobster mac 'n cheese. Good stuff.

Now I am headed out into the desert to see how the Prius drives on the freeway and look for pretty sights. Looking forward to a fun day.

5 nights in Las Vegas

It sounds like fun, right? But I'm here working (honest), attending a trial. Today we picked the jury - a very interesting process. It was by turns boring, confrontational, funny, embarrassing, sad, and impressive. Trial starts tomorrow and of course I can't comment on the actual case but I'll try to share a little bit of the rest of the experience. Hopefully there will be a small side-trip to somewhere naturally beautiful - haven't decided where yet. Any suggestions?

Management Conference

Today is the beginning of our "management conference". 500 managers and middle management coming together. Lots of rah-rah. I don't enjoy the cheerleading but it is nice to see people again. The biggest problem for me is that they all know me but I don't know them by face, only by voice (since I usually just have contact by phone). So there will be a whole lot of "great to see you" and on my part a whole lot of internal wondering as to who that person was.

3 days. I'm sure it will be fascinating... :)
